Appearance counts. Clothes, cut, and tats. So does fat and muscle.

POSSIBLY SPOILERS....



You don't start gaining much respect until you start taking over
territories which comes towards the end of your time in Los Santos (and
then again at the end of the game).

I made loads of cash at the beginning of the game by picking on drug
dealers. You can find them all over Los Santos. There are two kinds
wearing black and white, but you can spot them because they stand still
with their arms folded across their chests. They are always armed, but
often carry $2000 on them.

This is your picking up of gang members. As your respect goes up you
can pick up more. It's rarely useful as they cause more problems than
they solve. Contrary to some sites information they won't follow you
in another car if you don;t have enough seats for them and it doesn't
matter how big the vehicle is but how many doors it has to how many
homeys you can take with you anywhere. A four door car is you and
three homeys, any extra will just stay behind. If you jump a bike one
homey will get on behind you (pushbikes are just for one!). There are
a couple of bigger planes which can carry only you and bigger
helicopters which can take only two. it's stupid.

The real exception to the rule is the bus. If you can find one of them
you can take quite a gang around on little trips to the seaside, days
out down the ballas hood etc. )

I don't know how far into the game you are, so I'm going to put a spoiler
space here just in case someone feels like bitching about it if I don't.

When you pause the game, are there yellow and purple shaded areas in Los
Santos? If so, they represent rival gangs, while the green shaded areas
represent your gang. If not, then there is a critical mission or two that
you need to complete that will reveal the rival gang territories to you.

To boost your respect (and your weapon skills), you need to attack members
of the rival gangs *in their territory* to start a gang war, and then defeat
three waves of enemy gang members without leaving that territory. After the
third wave, the territory becomes part of the Grove Street Families
territory (your gang) and is shaded green, and your respect goes up.

In the process, you also tend to a lot of pocket change and ammo.

And for the record, I find these gang wars easiest to win with the magnum
(or whatever the big handgun is called) and small assault weapon.

From the books or the film? I read the books as a teen and in my
twenties... loved them to bits and yeah, all that shaterer of worlds
stuff was so ominous, then blasted away by Chiun's reluctance to clean
up his mutilated bodies after a fight. )

Wasn't best pleased with the movie

From the books, didn't even know there was a movie, but I probably won't
bother watching it, movies rarely live up to the books they're made from.

The gang wars are open once you have those colour shaded areas. You
just pop into another gang's area and pop about four of their guys.

IF they're on their own turf. Sometimes when they're around the edges
you can get a gang war going but usually they have to be inside their
own colour zone

) Just watch you don't get trapped in cross fire when they're
heavily armed. It's possible to get shot to bits in seconds

As long as they are clearly rival gang members, they're near their own
territory, and there isn't already a gang war going on, then a gang war can
be started. :-P

But pay attention: they will come after your territories in return,
including some of the ones you've taken from them! It is war, after all!

Sarcasm doesn't work as well without audible tone or facial expressions.
